Me on skype directory

When I search for my email address in the skype directory, 7 different accounts appear. I've used 1 microsoft account to create skype accounts multiple times (which later unlinked and closed those accounts), but now that I decided to keep it, all previously deleted skype accounts still are associated with my email address (microsoft account). Any way to get then deleted from the directory and keep just the active one?

<bump> any solution?

I can't be found in the Skype Directory

Why am I not in the skype directory? No one is able to find me using my skype name, real name or email address......

Just to confirm if one of your friends can search your Skype Name/ Skype ID on Skype Directory?
Note: You won't be able to search your own Skype Name/ Skype ID on Skype Directory.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Remove My Skype Name from Skype directory

I don't want to receive contact request from anyone who knows my name so I wanted to change my Skype Name and change my Display Name to stop people finding me with my full name on Skype.
But I read in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name-or-display-name-in-skype-for-windo..." that It’s not possible to change my Skype Name. And If I want to have a different Skype Name, I will need to create a new account.
So I start looking for how to delete my present Skype account before creating a new one. And I followed all the instructions in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/can-i-delete-my-skype-account". Now I need to remove My Skype Name from the Skype directory. I tried to contact Skype Customer Service by Email but they're having some problems at the moment.

Hi, Community14,
Thank you for your report. Please try contacting Skype Customer Service again, this time using a different web browser than you typically use.
Regards,
Elaine

To whom it may concern,
I need help with removing my Skype account from the Skype Directory.

I am not eligible for email or live chat service with a skype representative... I decided to post in this forum. Thanks anyway.
afaik, all users can use the email support option. But as you said you can not use that facility, send an email to their generic email address instead - [email protected]

Remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory

Hello, can you please help me. I want you (someone who does that) to remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory.
I removed all my personal information from my profile.
"If you want us to remove your Skype Name from the Skype directory, you need to contact our Skype Customer Service. It may take up to two weeks to remove your name from the directory."
I've read everything about this topic. So, please, can you just do that?

Hi, Amy-992, and welcome to the Community,
Because our Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service, as is explained in our Community Guidelines, in fact we are not authorized to process account-related customer service requests.
Please do contact Skype Customer Service to file your request to remove the account - remember, this is a one-time request, is permanent, and will disable your account from further use.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Elaine

Improvement to Skype Directory.

In an older version of Skype, there was an actual directory. In order to add someone to your contact list, you had to know their name or visit the Skype website and browse the directory until you found them. However, in a person's profile setttings, there was an option to remove themselves from the onsite directory and couldn't be found. Period.
By re-adding this feature as a small check box with a description of "Do you want your name to be listed in the Skype Directory?" people would be able to remove themselves from all search results. This will fix the harassment issue of random people trying to add you or your child and send malware, viruses, URLs to child pornography and other illegal content. It would also prevent people who have been blocked from trying to re-add you in order to continue harassment.

Download and install the latest version of Skype to see if that resolves your issue:
Skype 7.1 (exe version)

Skype Directory Not Working Properly?

Hi All,
I recently noticed since the upgrade to version 7.0.0.102 that I can no longer search the Skype user directory for people by their registered email address.
I also am unable to search for people who were formerly in my contact list. If I deleted someone off my contacts list in the past, I still was able to pull up the past chat history by finding their user name in the directory and then opening up a chat window to view the past conversations. Now the Skype directory is unable to find them. What is going on? Are you removing users from the directory when they haven't logged into their acounts for awhile or what?

Company skype Directory

Hi There,
I am currently debating whether to rollout skype throughout my organisation, i have set up skype manager, and have started creating a number of profiles. The problem I am currently getting is how I make it easier for each of the users within the organisation to see each other in skype without having to manually login as each of them and adding each of the additional users.
Is there anyway to create a company skype directory were once an account is set up it automatically adds all of the users within the company to is contact list, or is there anyway round this that would help improve user buyin? As if it is a matter of each user having to add all of the skype names it is going to be a long process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
sammy

Closet i found is a workaround:
https://secure.skype.com/account/bcp/members
Click on member list and copy and paste the weblinks into email/web page.
I created a new users; so I could get all the weblinks (or you could create manaully).
Not a great solution; but beats manaul searching.

Deleting name from Skype directory

Does anyone know how to remove yourself from the Skype directory?

Hi, cyberchristie,
To file your request with Skype Customer Service, scroll below the FAQ articles and click on the Continue Support Request button (the button here in my post is not active) at the bottom of the page:
If you still feel that the information doesn’t help, click the Continue support request button at the bottom of the screen.
Select your contact method. We recommend ... [No need to check the Community; you did!]
If you chose email, enter your details, describe your problem, and then click Send support request. We'll get back to you as soon as we can.
I just tested this; it worked for me using FireFox and Internet Explorer browers. Try signing on to the Skype website first - the Sign On link appears at the top right corner of the website page.

Elaine

Is there a "Skype Directory" ... ?

I keep receiving texts on my cell phone & the number appears to be a Skype number. How can I find "who" has this number?

According to the Administrator Guide, there is a way to restrict importing of contacts; you can research further here:
https://support.skype.com/resources/sites/SKYPE/content/live/DOCUMENTS/0/DO5/en_US/skype-it-administ...
I do not know of a way in Skype Manager to block a user affiliated with a Skype Manager profile from searching the Skype directory for other Skype users.
Here's a link to the Skype Manager User Guide so it's handy:

How do I remove myself from the Skype directory?

Basically, I only want people who I've given my skype handle to, to be able to initiate a connection request with me.
I am propositioned daily by numerous people overseas wanting to connect with me. I'm sure they don't have my skype handle. They are finding me in the directory. I'd like to be unlisted and only findable to those who know my exact Skype handle.
The lack of a way to inhibit this contact spam is really annoying, and is reflecting poorly on Microsoft, now that they ultimately own this. It's hard to feel this is a professional product when random people can message you right within skype like this.

I think you may need to contact customer service regarding such concern. You may be asked some verification questions before they can assist you with your request to remove your name from the directory.

Contact name not listed in skype directory

Skype won't recognize either a existing contact's name, email, user name, or telephone number

it's important to use 10-digit or fullly compliant international numbers for all contacts to keep things working smootly.
on the other hand, if when you have the contact properly filled out and the recent calls or sms list show just the number it's likely a corrupted addressbook.
I had this problem since i restored my iPhone 4 onto my iPhone 4s. turned out to be a corrupted address book database on the phone.
deleting the database @ /Users/Library/AddressBook (all files starting with AddressBook) (while Addressbook NOT running and when iCloud sync and iTunes sync both off) and re-run address book to create empty database before re enable sync solved it!
